Thank you Patali and Hal. We’ll see how far i get before the summer break - but at least then i have more hours to crunch.
Update - Destruction of Alderaan
Thanks for the patience.
Here’s a little update, Alderaan:
Looks like you’re doing more than modernising the audio and visual look, bro! 👀
In my new line of work, I’ve… been cursed with a lot of new tools. Hehe. But yes - you know me.
Thank you so much.
Film 10 is almost done, but i was T satisfied with the pace. All visual effects are done, and audio 98 percent.
But the pacing felt off to me, although my gf felt it was good enough for release. But I disagree.
This one only. Dont have enough time or interest for more unfortunately.
Thank you.
Thanks for the patience.
Here’s a little update, Alderaan:
Thank you for continued interest. Life’s been really busy these last couple of years, so big projects like this and Game of Thrones finale has been hard to do due to the amount of work needed to do them.
I am most interested in continuing this soon, hopefully during the summer break.
Thank you for your kind replies, PM’s and patience. Here is an update:
Finally I’ve made some major progress. The main achilles heel of Film X was a very VFX-demanding scene I had to pull off to sell the emotional whiplash of the ending - and the one big scene that kind of shifts the entire story narrative as the audience are originally used to it unfolding. In other words; If i didn’t pull of this scene to preferable quality, the entire ending would fall flat and just be another “slightly tweaked” GoT ending that just doesn’t work for me nor the ending I’m going for.
I know I’m always very coy when it comes to these updates, but that is because I want to have some surprises, and a last gut-punch for the audience in good, old GoT-fashion. Hopefully, now with the heavy (and expensive!!) VFX work out of the way, I can go on and finetune the audio mix and some ending parts and hopefully release rather soon.
I’ve finally found the time to add the series to the IFDB, and I know a lot of you have wanted this for a long time. Please feel free to leave a review. 😃

I personally wouldn’t mind seeing Daisey Ridley reprise the role of Rey in the future. I’m not sure how it could happen with all the on again, off again revolving door action going on at Disney HQ. Who knows what will happen? I’m not even sure the Disney Execs know. I guess time will tell.
The entire point of leaking development news was probably to test the waters for a Rey movie. Since the hype died after one day they probably settled on only having her appear as cameo’s or in a “main” line of films and/or TV shows rather than her own standalone. A correct choice indeed, in a disney world of bad ones.
“This will begin to make things right”.
They need to focus on original stuff. Mando and Grogu (just delete most of the connection to season 3), and the other two that worked (haven’t seen Andor or Skeleton’s Crew but I know they’ve performed well and are well-liked).
Disney officially now stepping out of gender politics and reshaping Disney behind the scenes will save Star Wars and soon we will have quality again. Oh - and give Obi-Wan and Anakin/Vader two seperate show’s to remedy the mistakes of Obi-Wan Series, with a proper budget and a couple of Andor’s quality writers.
Oh, and; merry christmas!
Thank you.
Film X is very close, but I’m still not completely satisfied. Closer to release than anything else I have on my sleeve as of now.
I’m a wizard, Cammy.
Thanks for the Thanksgiving holiday present (if you are in the USA).
Based on the runtime of the movie, it looks like you included most of the deleted scenes from HBP. Out of curiosity, which ones did you leave out?
I’m in Europe, but I’m happy it brought some thanksgiving joy.
I left out Harry and Hermione discussing Malfoy on the map.
❤️ Thanks, guys.
OBS! I initally wanted to cut way more, like Slughorn saying yes to go to Hogwarts, Aragog burial and Ron at the Hospital Wing, because none of them further the plot at all, but I know many people enjoy Half-Blood Prince so much that it would probably make hearts bleed. Also, I’ve already cut 7 min of the original runtime - most of which are poor attempts at comedy or simply too revealing to the story, so I think Ultimate Edition does a good job at balancing all the different tones of the film well and much better than the original did.
I might do a more compact version for myself, as I find those three scenes to drag down the pacing and mystery of the film. I might upload two versions (this one being the "Extended Ultimate Edition) if there is interest.
I hope the color grading in and out of itself make people realize how beautifully shot HBP actually is, now that one can see key details for the first time ever… Again; what WERE they thinking with that original grade? Never looking back on the original ever again!
😂😂😂😂 Oh man. The mouse house is as predictable as water in a river.
We deserve better.
Yes 😄
Cheers, lads!
The Statues theme is a «Epic Version» from YouTube that i slowed down and added reverb and a darker pitch to.
New soundmix alterations (Hogwarts sounds like it’s crashing together, wind shifting in when Bellatrix crush window, “Statues” is introduced to strengthen the scene in DH even further (might not remain - I’m not 100% yet), color grade is completely redone, Fang is heard struggling and dying in the background when Bellatrix puts Hagrid’s hut on fire and more.
PMs sent.
Brilliant!
Dang… I’m sorry to hear that you were disappointed with Season 2 and that you’re struggling with it in regards to your second film. I had actually finished the series yesterday and came here to see if you had started work on a second film. lol.
Also, good to see that a finished definitive version of your first film is now released!
Well, as much as I dislike a lot of stuff with Rings of Power - the stuff they do well when you remove the fluff is brilliant.
I’m way into the works on my Film II, and I blame my OCD.
Happy to hear! I think it’s sold now.
